LONDON, September Neither
Gent nor Hutchins, who were extensively
advertised to run l20.yard foot race at
Lille Bridge to-day, for the championship
OF the world, and 200 pounds appeared on
the track at all. Thousands of spectators
had assembled and paid to witness the an
nounced contest. When the crowd were
made aware of the situation, they were
disgusted and soon took revenge in riot.
The mob partly demolished two grand
stands, the dancing pavilion and the large
assembly hall, and set fire to the debris they
collected, fJrning six large bonfres. They
then set fire to the wooden railings
the Brompton station. They next looted
the liquor saloons in the vicinity and
bombardrJ the windows and the police
men and firemen with full and empty bot
ties. The iiremen played the hose upon
the rioters, but in vain. After holding
possession for three hours the mob was dis
persed, when the police strongly reinforced
arrested a number of the rioters. A rail
road inspector, after the struggle with the
mob. dropped dead from the effects OF the
excitement The damage is enor-
nous Both Gent and Hutchins
had appeared on the track in splendid con-

in private trial this morning and that
his hackers at the last moment forbade his
running, giving Hutchens the stakes, but
saving heavy bets. The owners Of the

himself in an unpleasant predicament by

toward one of the Danbury players. The
Danburys were at bat with men on bases
when Third Baseman Cornell approached his
coacher and made some remark to him.
Immediately Mr.. Minor yelled from the al.

Minor for his ungentlemanly conduct. Minor
distinguished himself in the same way last
year by shouting at Campion when the latter
